About this book

R. B. Bernstein's brief new life of Thomas Jefferson looks for the key to the man not in his career as a political figure, but in his role as leader of a revolution of ideas that aimed to remake the world.

Bernstein weighs Jefferson's strengths and weaknesses alongside his triumphs and his failings, along with the contradictions in his life. The book also describes his life as a Virginia gentleman, with its luxury and its debts.

General readers of American history, and students who need a brief, balanced life of one of the Founders, will find it useful.
